jump up and down and go "sqeeee" then cackle at my husband as I start looking for an Indy hat for him :P Will get myself some new clothes and such, but not so sure about a whole-new wardrope.

typical mother behaviour. I'm meeting mine in two weeks and already starting to brace myself :P Your diary looks yummy. If you have the chance, a talk with a dietician could help you to be more certain of your choices. but there's also plenty of articles and helpfull people in here.

personally after I got my HRM I log my net calories, not my total burned calories for the exercise. so for every hour of exercise I take away 100 cal from the total burned. It's not accurate, but close enough for me.

Being FOR choice is not being AGAINST life. These so called pro-life groups should call themselfs what they are anti-abortion.

Pretty and talented <3 well done on your achievemnt(s)

I did day 1 lvl 3 of 30days shred today. That was hard. I kinda feel queasy.

nowadays, repeatedly by a friend who's tiny and is exercising "to loose 5 pounds". I sometimes wonder if I should offer her 50 of mine. Just yesterday she came over, and said "you don't need those" when she noticed my handweights. uh, what? I guess she's just being nice, but it is hard for me not to laugh at her :P

SW -205 lbs (Sunday Jan 1) Week 1 - 203.3 lbs (Sunday Jan 8 ) Week 2 - 200.6 lbs (Sunday Jan 15) Week 3 - 199.3 lbs (Sunday Jan 22) Week 4 - xxx lbs (Sunday Jan 29) Total lost - xx lbs (Thursday Feb 1) :D

Very true. Met an online friend who had told me before meeting me that he didn't find me attractive at all (the feeling was mutual, though he is the typical tall, blond, muscled, square jaw, handsome guy). Then after we met he told me I was much more attractive in person. "Well, gee.. thanks. Still not interested in you…

That made me laugh. I once overheard a girl saying maybe the secret to getting a boyfriend was to not brush her teeth (she was under the impression from my "nice" ex-roommate that I didnt brush). Maybe you should suggest to the co worker that if she made herself ugly she might be able to get a non-jerk boyfriend. :P

Star Trek! I love Star Wars (original trilogy). Still remember when my uncle showed it to us sisters for the first time. I dreamt of laser swords for weeks! <3 but star trek I like better. TOS for amusingly bad tech, DS9 for the characters and plots, TNG for Worf (so hot!), Voyager for drama. I like the universe created in…

I developed a stare for people who tell me what they think of my looks, personality or brains without being asked for opinion. My friends made endless fun of that stare after one of them hid under a table to get away from it. Allot of the comments through life have hurt, but what my husband has helped me believe is that…

you are calculating it right. give the 1500 cal a chance for two or three weeks. see how you feel. its normal to gain after increasing, your body needs time to adjust ;)

painkillers. healthy eating. gym. that combination has lessened my "unable to operate" time to maybe half a day (at my worst it would be a day or two, ugh). it really does help to exercise. also, if you are having extended pains you should go see a doctor.

nerdness :)

SW -205 lbs (Sunday Jan 1) Week 1 - 203.3 lbs (Sunday Jan 8 ) Week 2 - 200.6 lbs (Sunday Jan 15) Week 3 - xxx lbs (Sunday Jan 22) Week 4 - xxx lbs (Sunday Jan 29) Total lost - xx lbs (Thursday Feb 1) sooo close

fat. and it annoys me when people seem offended or hurt when I call myself fat.. as if they should feel offended on my behalf. thank you for this post. now I shall get my fat *kitten* to the gym.

only 21 miles so far, but got my gym membership renewed today so time to stack 'em up!

/agree sure, sometimes it might be born of jelousy but often it's because a) they want you to feel happy about yourself now or b) they think you weight less than you do and are worried you'll go too far.

chicken, sweet potatoes, broccoli and a bit of leek. black pepper and a layer of cheese on top. nomnom :) though I usually cut the chicken, potatoes and broccoli up first and cook it on a pan (sometimes with olive oil, sometimes without). but that's because I'm paranoied about under or overcooking it in an oven (I suck at…

My husband admitted it a few weeks back. After I started loosing inches. That yes, he would find me more attractive when I'm fit. And I was glad he said that. on it's own, it sounds like a ****ty thing to say but! We've been together for almost 12 years now. He's kept his mouth shut when I blew up to 260+ lbs. He didn't…

check with your doctor why he says 140. also see if he has comments on the big/avg/small bonesize. and listen to your body rather than the scale.

and I dont mean to be mean ( :P ) but what makes this time different from when you lost weight and gained it back? This is about building a lifestyle that sticks, not a race :)

finished lvl 1 of 30 day shred today. was lazy the last two days :P starting lvl 2 tomorrow. wrarr!

SW -205 lbs (Sunday Jan 1) Week 1 - 203.3 lbs (Sunday Jan 8 ) Week 2 - xxx lbs (Sunday Jan 15) Week 3 - xxx lbs (Sunday Jan 22) Week 4 - xxx lbs (Sunday Jan 29) Total lost - xx lbs (Thursday Feb 1) crappy week exercise wise, but ok-ish food side so hopefully I'll keep this up *cross fingers and sets sight on Onederland*

yaya, grats! sounds like you are doing really well

some of it will come back, and then go again and so on. dont worry too much about it week by week (definately not day by day!). as long as you are eating healthy and the right amount, it will come off.

don't be afraid to start the shred and do the easy version of the exercises.

tell the mean voice to STFU and focus on the good things about yourself any time the negativity starts. That works for me most of the time. When it fails I go crying to my SO :P Also, I hope you are getting treatment for the depression? Professional one that is.

I second Jillian's 30day shred. She also has Ribbed and 6 week 6 pack you might enjoy.
